Imagine googling “open source text to speech software” and you get a link to Apple Podcasts for children’s stories. That would be wild!

  Well, to state the obvious, OP chose not to google it and to ask HN instead, which is why I provided a technology recommendation and an example of a solution I hacked together using the technology.

    I don’t really get why you’re doubling down on your obvious self-promotion. You literally started with “This doesn’t answer the question…” but now you’re claiming that you did answer the question by providing a technology recommendation?

      I'm defending myself vigorously because I truly wasn't trying to promote myself, despite what you claim. I took time out of my busy day to explain on this forum my use-case for text to speech, which combines two AI technologies and happens to involve kid's stories. I did not ask people to follow or subscribe to the podcast - that is you putting words in my mouth. I thought this audience would find this use-case interesting because this is Hacker News and I hacked together this solution. I also started my answer with "This doesn't answer the question" because it's not a literal list of TTS technologies; instead, it provides an interesting example of how I used one such technology.

        Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to provide multiple links to your podcast as a public service.
